Abstract: 274 graders from 7 to 12 were selected from two middle school to explore the strategies of adolescents' distributing working memory resources in solving the running-arithmetic problems.The results showed:Multiple strategy has been used in adolescents' distributing working memory resources.There are at least eleven strategies that individuals used for distributing working memory in solving the running-arithmetic problems.Different strategies differed in the accuracy and solution time.The external strategy is superior to the internal strategy and the associative strategy of internal and external.The different strategies are quite different in the solution time.If the percent of strategies use,accuracy and solution time are all considered,middle school students are more likely to use strategies in more accuracy.

Key words: middle school students, working memory, strategy
